Policy Template

The policy templates menu provides a list of default templates to create a cloud assembly.

The policy template list contains both the predefined and user-defined templates. The policy templates have the following details.

Label Description
Name Pre-defined / User-defined name of the policy template
Protection frequency type The backup frequency type defined for the policy, like 15 minutes, hourly, or daily. You can also select a custom frequency between 16 and 59 minutes for more frequent backups. A template with a custom frequency can be reused across different assemblies.
Protection Scheduled The frequency interval of the policy along with the selected time zone
Applied Assemblies List of all the cloud assemblies which have applied this particular policy template. The policy template has a “Delete” option in the “Settings” if there are no applied assemblies for that policy.
Primary count The number of snapshots retained per storage volume in the primary region. Cloud Rewind retains the given number of latest snapshots in the primary region. A count of minimum 3 is mandatory.
Replication retention count The number of snapshots retained per storage volume in the recovery region. Cloud Rewind retains the given number of latest snapshots in the recovery region. A count of minimum 3 is mandatory.

Note

The recovery region replication and retention are limited based on the cloud provider. Cloud providers with global snapshots access will ignore this setting.
